Take Hwy #3 from Winnipeg, passed Carman until you get to Roseisle MB. There are signs indicating Roseisle (but the town is quite small). There is a large sign that indicates Birch Ski Area off the highway (turn LT off the highway, continue down the gravel road until you pass a large horse and Bison farm, then take a RT, up the hill to the club house (there are signs along the way). We are not staging at the club house so take the road down the hill, cones and signs are generally placed around for you to follow. In the valley there is a stage and canteen etc. Once you are at the hill it is easy to find where the race will be. Be advised that part of the road is closed when you turn off HWY 3, but should be open by the weekend. 
 
Race Info: Race begins at 11 am. Registration begins at: 9:15. all riders must be checked in 30 minutes prior to their race time. All pre-riding must be completed by 11 am.

Wind up Info: After the races are complete and we tally the results and present trophies to the winners of each age category (approximately 1:00 pm). The KOM committee will have hotdogs, a snack and a juice box for the kids after their race is complete. There will be a canteen for food purchases for the remainder of the family at the event. At check-in each KOM participant will receive a food coupon to present at the canteen to receive their food items.
Note: Due to the MB Cup requirements of U9/U11/U13 courses on Saturday, our realestate, options, and manpower are limited to set up new courses for Sunday KOM.  As a result the courses are being reused and are geared to optimal rider abilities and times.  These are challenging courses and pre-ride is strongly recommended.
